Likes Star Wars and guitars. Views are usually someone else's, stolen and repackaged as my own, in order to sound cleverer than I really am.

Contrast that keynote speech with the other big one this year where a bunch of angry men beat women with sticks as the party leader looked on and laughed.

Coincidentally Piccadilly *gardens* were gardens for a good chunk of the last century until they were inspired to dig them up and build a homage to North Korean concrete walls.

At what point should the journalist simply say the allegations are bollox? This is 5G towers all over again. I'm pretty sure this all part of a massive Russian disinformation campaign to get nutters to attack our infrastructure.
However, the medical and technological claims made by the group have not been independently established and remain allegations made by the Blade Runners.

‘Masked paramilitary group occupies crucial port’ is the headline the media would go for if it wasn’t happening in Britain.

Genuinely surprised at the reaction here to the emergency alert. Nationwide wildfires and dozens of houses destroyed seems like a not unreasonable use to me. It's possible not everyone is quite as sensible as you believe, nor takes as much notice of the news.

For the last 2 years everyone's been complaining Starmer was too bogged down in technical details and not concentrating enough on vision. We were told vision is more important, because where there's a will there's a way. Now someone does the opposite and everyone wants the technical details!

Nigel Farage is running the bizarre line again on Today that he "wasn't in politics" when he stuffed £5 million down his trousers from a crypto-billionaire. He literally owned a political party.

Reminded of my all time favourite resignation, Cameron who went through the door, still on mic, and went "Right (hand clap) du de du de du"

I was recently told to be "mansplaining" when I refuted the assertion that the UK gov and Hitler were "fighting alongside" each other at the leadup to WW2. Today I see a post implying the British were responsible for German concentration camps. If only there were history books on this period eh.

Sightly baffled by the number of people posting on social media that claim data centres are unnecessary. Saw one today which suggested it was perfectly possible to Google for yourself, and hence no need for data centres, because they didn't need AI.

When AC/DC wrote about how in the beginning, back in 1955, there was no understanding of rock, they were writing about a situation only 22 years earlier, and already several albums in. Imagine a band from 2022 writing a song now about how there was an entire mega-genre of music missing from 2004.

This was amusing enough for me to go to YouTube and watch part of it - it's actually very boring - but the most striking part was one of them couldn't even be bothered to take their coat off. In their own house.

Planet Rock doing 3 great successive albums. Listener picks Metallica. If he'd picked any 3 from the first 4, definitely. 3 from first 5, acceptable. He picks Load, Justice and Black album! I mean, dude, Master of Puppets is right there!

The “Ed Davey is obsessed with Farage” takes are weird. A) The media is obsessed with Farage B) If the next election looks anything like the polling, it will basically be a progressive/populist bloc election. Labour won’t be Davey’s enemy. They’ll be his path to govern.

Sky News platform Farage at every opportunity, that provokes a response of disproportionality from a much larger party being ignored even during their conference, and then Sky News claims "he's living rent free in Ed Davey's head". news.sky.com/story/why-ed...

By this logic Reformers* should be ensuring their social group contains an overwhelming majority of non-Reformers. Excluding people from their social circle. *not voters because nobody's voting on anything at the moment, that's just misdirection on the part of this post

I'm thinking whether you are for or against Reform, putting them in a position where they have to work for the needs of a community with ideas and strategy probably is something we could welcome at some level.

We're in some sort of paradoxical state where free speech is seen as crucial, but no content could be seen as harmful. Either you can be led to form opinions on what you see and read or you can't, but you have to choose one.

The interesting thing about this is that Reform *is* Farage and everyone in the UK knows this. Which means two things. 1) They're not giving up Farage, that's effectively impossible 2) Musk would appear to be completely misaligned on who/what Reform are.

Just seen a picture of QOTSA from 2002. Reminded that it was its own supergroup featuring members of Kyuss, Nirvana and Screaming Trees. Saw them at Glastonbury with Grohl on drums, seem to recall by the time the tour came round he'd been replaced.

When rebels took Aleppo, Wallace remained on the Sky News top slot. He's been displaced today to number two by events in Seoul. So the news pecking order in summary: - South Korea - Wallace - Syria

I wonder what Reform would do with £100mn which would make them more likely to be voted in anyway? They get endless free publicity already, it's not like they need to get their message out.

Just thinking about the current government's track record, and remembered the previous government once contracted a ferry company with no ferries that had terms and conditions from a pizza delivery website.
